Cire 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 A couple of days ago, I saw a full page advertisement of the Rafale fighter aircraft, with the caption "Rafale , the Malaysia's future.." something like that.. Does this means that Malaysia have opted for Rafale fighter aircrafts? Anyone can confirm this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lock SH 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 IIRC, Rafale is one of the contenders, together with Typhoon and Super Hornets. GE13 will determine who will be the winner ......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
